Re: variance at pacific,
It really is very difficult for me to comment on. I'm running at about 16ptbb/100 at NL400 over 6k hands or so, but I'm down at NL600, NL1000, NL2000 and NL5000. I have played about 7k hands at all those stakes combined, and definitely run bad there and good at 2/4. I don't have anywhere near a big enough sample to say for sure what it's like but I would lean towards saying session-to-session variance might be higher but over any significant sample it's going to be less variance than other sites.
I think it would be very rare for a good player to have more than a 10 buyin downswing (much moreso than on other site), but I think 2-5 buyin swings would be fairly frequent.

Poker is silly.
It is not enough to be good at chess, you must also play well.
Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.

Be glad your opponents refuse to fold; if they didn't, you just might go broke.
